Above: The radio Shack of the USS Oregon at a
residence in a suburb of Portland, Oregon. The radio shack was acquired by
Mr. Carl Braun when the ship was being dismantled during World War II. Mr.
Braun was U.S. Navy radio operator on the Oregon when the ship was in
service during World War I.

door leading into the shack is the radio call sign of the USS Oregon:
NMZ.

The radio shack was added to the USS Oregon shortly
before the start of World War I. Radio communications was a new technology
to ships back then, and extensive modifications were made to the USS
Oregon to install the radio equipment.
